The Gaming Den

We are still playing 3.5... so not nostalgic Precisely. If 3.0 was so super duper, why did you all switched to 3.5 and why did 3.5 last much longer seeing a lot more material? I never bothered switching to 3.5. I house-ruled in things that my players liked from 3.5 and wanted, this was pretty commo...

Apparently this is an ancient thread resurrected, great

well, islamic myth isn't the arab world I'd want to play in anyway, I'd much rather play in pre-islamic arabia. They can keep muhammed faceless and threaten danish cartoonists, I want my djnn and desert demons. That's not pre-Islamic. Not exclusively anyway, Jinn are mentioned in the Quran and are ...

Shatner wrote: "hey, Gaza, Israel, everyone in the Strip gets moved to the West Bank. We're sending grunts and trucks over to make it happen (Operation Clear End Goal and Exit Strategy is go!). If Israel doesn't like it, we stop paying their rent."

I'm confused what you think this will accomplish.

Sarandosil, I will assume you are the younger one? Yeah. The other lady is Taslima Nasreen, she's a Bangladeshi ex-muslim and exile. Met her at women in secularism 3, didn't realize she was going to toss my picture on her twitter, it was a little weird considering a lot of us are closeted or have s...

I second the wiki idea. You can toss one up for your setting on the thecbg.org if you need a space for it, having the information up for your players to read through at their leisure is pretty nifty. Otherwise I run it like Dogbert. I show everyone the setting map before chargen and feed information...

turns out I'm famous

That reminds me... I had a friend become Mormon years ago. I attended his baptism, along with the family he was marrying into and on the way there one of them told me that I'd likely get a few people who will try to talk to me and proselytize, just a heads up sort of thing. Not a single person said ...

Video games are for power fantasies. I play D&D because I like simulating worlds in my mind. But then I'm pretty much exclusively a GM.

Old-timey covers of contemporary songs. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pXYWDtXbBB0 I love this, by the way. Thank you. Surprisingly, Ess totally dove into it, too. He sings these versions of the songs ALL the time. He even loaded the videos onto his Kindle Fire so he can make sure that they are alw...

I wish the Mass Effect series had a non awful storyline.

Sometimes semantic differences denote real differences. This is not the case with the semantic bullshit that Christian sects babble out to simultaneously claim that they only have one god and that their temples are filled with saints and angels and shit. In this case it really is just simple hypocr...

Post your unfinished Minecraft shit here (or finished, if you want). I always start out with an idea or some inspiration, work on it for a while, have the project get bigger and bigger until I hit a point where it's so big that I don't know what else to do with it and abandon it. I wanted a Tavern o...

Well, be careful about falling too hard, because she's married. But I know people who are happy sexbuddies of open-married individuals, so it certainly can be a positive experience. I can't speak to how frequently it works out, though. Update: I flirted with her for a week, then ascertained that th...

Yay after months of lurking I've finally got something relevant to post in. I'd recommend The Secret World if you're looking for an MMORPG that isn't a WoW clone. Class-less systems and a pretty awesome modern horror/fantasy setting, with a dev team that actually <i>gasp</i> supports roleplayers, a...

I don't know either of them that well, but I know her husband a bit better than I know her, actually. He's a lot more extroverted (and flirty himself) so he's easier to get into conversations with. I'm pretty fond of him. I guess my biggest warning sign was that he's only ok with his wife messing ar...

I seem to be falling for a very flirty bi..... curious? hetero-flexible, married lady in an open marriage of some sort.

Is there any good that can possibly come from this, or should I be running away screaming right about now?

Look, I'm not saying that it's wrong to say the D&D cleric has some Christian influence. But if it had been made in some other country by people who never saw a cross or a church, heard about the Bible, or had any Christian influence, it is conceivable that the D&D cleric would be 95% ident...

Please tell me what culture explicitly rejects, even partially, Charity, Faith, Fortitude, Hope, Justice, Prudence or Temperance? Charity Capitalists Faith Atheists Hope Satanists Justice Criminals Prudence Christians ("the ability to govern and discipline oneself by the use of reason" is...

"Even Islam, which some students of Arab affairs cite as the most formidable single barrier to the westernization of Arab existence, is basically but an affirmation of Christianity and Judaism-- or, at least, of such versions thereof as Muhammed knew."

I'm not sure I want any part of this.

Came across it while looking for a different piece of religious crazy. Apparently Sunnis are whores and homosexuals

How do you even resolve combat with a few hundred minions?

Yeah that's how I interpret it Maj. I'm trying to meet up with my cousin. I have stuff to give her to take abroad for family and I'd like to just spend some time with her since I haven't seen her in like 20 years. I ask when I can come over on friday- "I'll keep you updated". Don't hear an...

When people say "I'll keep you updated" why don't they ever keep you updated?

Oh for fuck´s sake. You could try actually checking this shit . Because I´ve been known to issue corrections for things I have said that were wrong simply because I independently discoverd that they were wrong and not because anyone here demonstrated contrary evidence... -Username17 But are you wil...
